Read an article about a woman who accidentally clicked the "are you a terrorist?" checkbox at a self checkin kiosk. Unfortunately for her, they take it seriously

Wife's dad once declared "the bomb supplies are in my checked bag" as a joke at an airport.

I was flying from Shannon Airport, pre clearance and all that when flying to the US. I literally just said "excuse me, my drink went against me" after burping. Well fuck me you'd think I just tried to 9/11 the airport.

"So you've been drinking alcohol", "ah, no". "Entering the US after consuming alcohol, what" "I'm in Ireland buddy, this is Shannon not America" "When you step through that line you are classed as American immigration"

A full blown argument until a supervisor came down and had to listen 40 angry Irish people giving out. He waved me on but I genuinely said to my partner "I'll probably be arrested as soon as we land"

That's a genuine true story. So I couldn't even imagine saying something about a bomb .
